Your Heart is True, You're a Pal and a Confidant
No bitching about the comics. I watched too much TV tonight. I'm too lazy, and it's too late.
Plus, I'm not all that riled up about Momma (yet). Is it because she's a tough gal who takes no guff an Estelle Costanza/Sophia Petrillo-esque lady?? Yes, maybe. So for today: whatever. The comics suck, they aren't funny, blah blah blah blah ad infinitum.
Here are some not comic thoughts:
1) I know the names of all the Golden Girls characters! First and last! Yes it's true. They are Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), Rose Nylund (Betty White), Blanche Deveraux (Rue McClanahan) and Dorothy Spornak (Bea Arthur). I'm not sure about the spelling, and you are just going to have to trust that I actually know that, and didn't hop over to imdb.com to figure it out.
Why is this crap taking up space in my brain? I could have used that extra brain space on Tuesday when I mailed off a bunch of my husband's important documents without stamps. Ah well.
2) My garbage men support the troops! That's what a huge sign on their truck says. How do they support the troops? Do they give to the USO or something? Do they send care packages? Maybe they are just saying they are behind the troops. But, as far as I know, there aren't any troops in our neighborhood, so their sign isn't supporting anyone. Except maybe some of the troops' families live here, so that's nice. I have lots of friends who are troops, including one who went to Iraq last week, so I guess I'm glad my garbage men support him?? I guess? I mean, how should I respond to this? Make more trash for them? Less? More patriotic trash?
3) There is an Aquafina commerical (I think) that uses the song "I Feel Pretty." This was from West Side Story, a fantastic musical and piece of American entertainment blah blah blah. Screw that! This is the song that Baby's sister wanted to perform at the Kellerman's end of the summer talent show in Dirty Dancing! But did she actually perform it? I don't remember. I WOULD remember but that space in my brain is taken up by the following bits of knowledge:
Reverend Alden was the minister in Walnut Grove, MN and Miss Beetle was the teacher.
Sorry, folks. Hate for the entire post to be off-topic, but . . . eh. Can't muster up the necessary outrage at the comics today. Don't worry, I still think they suck!
